1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Kaži Aronu i sinovima njegovim da se čuvaju od svetih stvari sinova Izrailjevih, da ne bi oskvrnili sveto ime moje u onom što mi oni posvećuju; ja sam Gospod.

3 Reci im: Ko bi god iz semena vašeg od kolena na koleno pristupio k svetim stvarima, koje bi posvetili sinovi Izrailjevi Gospodu, kad je nečistota njegova na njemu, taj neka se istrebi ispred lica mog; ja sam Gospod.

4 Ko bi god iz semena Aronovog bio gubav ili bi išlo seme od njega, neka ne jede svete stvari dokle ne bude čist; tako i koji bi se dotakao koga nečistog od mrtvog tela ili onog od koga je izašlo seme,

5 Ili ko bi se dotakao čega što gamiže po zemlji, od čega bi se oskvrnio, ili čoveka od kog bi se oskvrnio kakve mu drago nečistote njegove,

6 Ko bi se dotakao takvog čega, biće nečist do večera; zato neka ne jede svete stvari ako ne okupa telo svoje u vodi.

7 A kad zađe sunce, biće čist, i onda može jesti od svetih stvari; jer mu je hrana.

8 Mrcino ili šta raskine zverka neka ne jede, da se njim ne skvrni; ja sam Gospod.

9 Tako neka drže šta sam uredio da se drži, da ne navuku na se greha i ne umru od njega oskvrnivši se. Ja sam Gospod koji ih posvećujem.

10 Niko drugi da ne jede svete stvari, ni ukućanin sveštenikov ni nadničar da ne jede svete stvari.

11 A kad sveštenik kupi koga za novce, taj neka ih jede, i koji se rodi u kući njegovoj; oni neka jedu jelo njegovo.

12 Ali kći sveštenička kad se uda za čoveka drugog plemena, ona da ne jede od žrtava podignutih svetih stvari.

13 A kći sveštenička ako obudovi, ili je pusti muž, ako nema poroda, neka se vrati kući oca svog kao što je bila u detinjstvu svom, hleb oca svog neka jede; ali niko drugog plemena da ga ne jede.

14 A ko bi nehotice jeo svetu stvar, neka dometne peti deo i naknadi svešteniku svetu stvar.

15 Da ne bi oskvrnili svete stvari sinova Izrailjevih, koje prinose Gospodu,

16 I da ne bi navlačili na njih kar za prestup jedući svete stvari njihove, jer sam ja Gospod, koji ih posvećujem.

17 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

18 Kaži Aronu i sinovima njegovim i svim sinovima Izrailjevim i reci im: Ko god od doma Izrailjevog ili od stranaca koji su u Izrailju hoće da prinese žrtvu svoju po kakvom god zavetu svom, ili od dobre volje svoje dar, što se prinosi Gospodu na žrtvu paljenicu,

19 Neka prinese drage volje muško zdravo od goveda ili od ovaca ili od koza.

20 Na čem bi bila mana, ono ne prinosite, jer vam se ne bi primilo.

21 I kad ko hoće da prinese žrtvu zahvalnu Gospodu, izvršavajući zavet ili od svoje volje dajući dar, od goveda ili od sitne stoke, neka bude zdravo, da bi bilo primljeno; nikakve mane da nema na njemu.

22 Slepo, ili kome je šta slomljeno ili odbijeno, ni gutavo, ni krastavo ni lišajivo, šta je takvo ne prinosite Gospodu, i ne mećite ih na oltar Gospodnji na žrtvu ognjenu.

23 A vola ili ovcu ili kozu sa udom kojim prevelikim ili premalim možeš prineti za dobrovoljni dar; ali za zavet neće se primiti.

24 Ujalovljeno uvrtanjem, tučenjem, kidanjem ili rezanjem, ne prinosite Gospodu; i ne činite to u zemlji svojoj.

25 I iz ruke tuđinske nemojte uzimati ni jedne stvari da prinesete hleb Bogu svom; jer je kvar njihov u njima; imaju manu, neće vam se primiti.

26 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

27 Tele i jagnje i jare kad se omladi, neka bude sedam dana kod majke svoje, pa od osmog dana i posle biće ugodno za žrtvu ognjenu Gospodu.

28 A kravu ni ovcu ni kozu ne koljite u jedan dan s mladetom njenim.

29 I kad prinosite Gospodu žrtvu radi hvale, prinesite je dragovoljno.

30 Neka se jede istog dana, i ne ostavljajte ništa do jutra; ja sam Gospod.

31 Zato držite zapovesti moje, i vršite ih; ja sam Gospod.

32 I nemojte skvrniti sveto ime moje, i ja ću se svetiti među sinovima Izrailjevim; ja sam Gospod, koji vas posvećujem.

33 Koji sam vas izveo iz zemlje misirske da vam budem Bog; ja sam Gospod.

6119. 'And why should we die near by you because the silver is lacking?' means that otherwise spiritual death takes place because of the lack of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as spiritual death, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the silver lacking' as a lack of truth - 'silver' being factual knowledge that holds truth in it and is appropriate, see 6112. What is implied by the notion that spiritual death takes place when there is a lack of truth is that spiritual life consists in deeds carried out in accordance with truths, consequently in useful services. For people endowed with spiritual life possess a yearning and desire for truths with life in view - that is, their end in view is to lead a life according to those truths - thus with useful services in view. Therefore the extent to which they can absorb truths, in accordance with which useful services are to be rendered, determines how much spiritual life they possess, because it determines how much of the light of intelligence and wisdom they possess. When truths are lacking therefore, as happens when a state of shade arrives - a state meant in the Word by 'evening', 6110 - spiritual life languishes. It languishes because things such as belong to the state of shade, that is, to spiritual death, enter in. When this happens people cannot be kept in the light in which they were before but are returned in part to a state of selfhood. As a consequence there emerges from the shade an image of spiritual death, that is, of damnation.

[2] It is clear from very many places in the Word that 'death' means spiritual death, or damnation; but let simply the following be quoted here: In Isaiah,

With righteousness He will judge the poor, and will reprove with uprightness the wretched of the earth. On the other hand He will smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath 1 of His lips He will make the wicked die. Isaiah 11:4.

This refers to the Lord. 'The rod of His mouth' and 'the breath of His lips stand for Divine Truth, the source of judgement. 'Dying' stands for suffering damnation. In the same prophet, He Will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord Jehovih will wipe away tears from upon all faces. Isaiah 15:8.

In the same prophet,

The dead will not live, the Rephaim will not rise. To that end You have visited them, You have wiped them out. Isaiah 16:14.

In the same prophet,

Your dead will live, my corpse will rise again. Isaiah 26:19.

In the same prophet,

You have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell we have shaped a vision. Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your vision with hell will not stand. Isaiah 28:15, 18.

[3] In Jeremiah,

You look for light, but He will turn it into the shadow of death, He will place it in thick darkness. Jeremiah 13:16.

In Ezekiel,

You have desecrated Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for crusts of bread, to slay souls that ought not to die and to bestow life on souls that ought not to live. Ezekiel 13:19, 22.

In Hosea,

Out of the hand of hell I will redeem them, from death I will deliver them. I will be your plagues, O death; I will be your destruction, O hell! Hosea 13:14.

In David,

You lift me up from the gates of death. Psalms 9:13.

In the same author,

Lighten my eyes, lest perhaps I sleep [the sleep of] death. Psalms 13:3.

In the same author,

The cords of death encompassed me, and the cords of hell. Psalms 18:4-5.

In the same author,

Like sheep they will be placed in hell, death will feed them. Psalms 49:14.

In John,

I have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18.

In the same book,

He who overcomes will not suffer harm in the second death. Revelation 1:11.

[4] In the same book,

I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive; but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen what remains, which is at the point of death. Revelation 3:1-2.

In Matthew,

The people sitting in darkness have seen a great light; and for those sitting in the region and shadow of death, the light has arisen. Matthew 4:16.

In John,

He who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me will have eternal life, and will not come into judgement, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24.

In the same gospel,

I am going away and you will seek Me, but you will die in your sin. I have said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins. If anyone keeps My word he will not ever see death. John 8:21, 14, 51-52.

Because 'death' meant damnation those who belonged to the representative Church were forbidden to touch the dead. If they did touch them they were unclean and had to be cleansed, Ezekiel 44:25; Leviticus 15:31; 21:2-3; 22:8; Numbers 6:6-12; 19:11-end.
